Liu Dongyan was very embarrassed, shook his head and said, "I'm not hungry, I'm already full, brother, you eat by yourself, you haven't eaten well these days." ".2."

Liu Dongyan disguised herself as a man, so on the way, it was discussed that she could not call Young Master Yang Xianmao, but call him brother, and Liu Dongyan deliberately used a hoarse voice when she spoke.

Yang Xianmao couldn't help but stuff the small half bowl of broth into her hand, and said, "If you want to drink it, you can drink it, it's all said, if you don't listen to my words, I'll drive you away." ”

Liu Dongyan had no choice but to take it, smiled a little embarrassedly, and drank the small half bowl of soup.

When sleeping, the quilt has a damp musty smell, covering the body is very uncomfortable, Liu Dongyan sat on the bunk, looked at the quilt, for a long time, before he got into the quilt and covered his nose with his hands.

Yang Xianmao has long been accustomed to such days, when he was a boatman, he slept with those coolies who pulled fibers and slept every day with such a quilt.

But Liu Dongyan is different, his father is a royal doctor, although the family is not rich, but at least it is a well-off family, how could he have covered such a damp and musty quilt, but after her father was convicted, he was escorted to exile for thousands of miles, which made her suffer everything, not to mention cover such a damp and musty quilt, and even often came over without a quilt cover, which is not a problem for her now. It's just that the girl's family always has to come to the monthly letter every month, and these two days happen to be the time when the monthly letter comes, so she always has to be squeamish at this time, so after she put the quilt on her body, she couldn't help frowning.

Yang Xianmao saw her expression and roughly knew what was going on, so she took off her coat, lifted Liu Dongyan's quilt, covered her with clothes, and then put the quilt on her clothes, so that it would be better if she was separated by a layer.

Liu Dongyan smiled gratefully, Yang Xianmao's meticulous care has been experienced many times on the road. At this moment, he was covered with Yang Xianmao's robe, and smelling his strong man's breath emanating from his clothes made Liu Dongyan's heart thump.

It's dog days, and it's actually very hot, but it's in the city, and at the moment they're in the mountains, and it's night, and it's still a little cool. Especially Liu Dongyan's body came to the moon letter again, and she had to cover the damp and musty quilt, which was really uncomfortable, but at this moment, with Yang Xianmao's coat as a pad, she felt much more comfortable, so she soon fell asleep

Yang Xianmao never fell asleep, and he always recalled Xia Yinhua's gentleness before going to bed every night. Once he thought of Xia Yinhua, his heart trembled a little.

Before Xia Yinhua fell into a coma last time, he didn't have this particularly strong feeling, and after that time, when he really felt that he was going to lose Xia Yinhua, he realized that he had invested too deeply in Xia Yinhua, and when he finally had to leave her, the sadness in his heart couldn't be calmed down for a long time.

It is precisely because of this incident that Yang Xianmao made up his mind that he would never be emotional in the future, otherwise he would harm others and himself.

Early the next morning, someone knocked on the door as soon as it was hazy, shouting: "Get up and eat, go out before dawn, hurry up." ”

The porters on the Chase shop scolded and scolded, although their mouths were not clean and complained, but they really did not dare to hesitate, after all, the owner was unhappy that he could not get the salary or he was unlucky, so he hurriedly began to dress.

Some porters are afraid of the heat, or they drink some strong liquor, and sleep naked at night. At this moment, the sky was hazy, and the figures could be seen clearly, Liu Dongyan didn't dare to look at them, turned his back, and faced the wall to get dressed.

After hurriedly dressing up, I followed the porters out, and saw several large plates of vegetable soup and several large baskets of cooking cakes in the courtyard. The porters sat in a circle of eight around a plate of vegetable soup and began to eat.

Yang Xianmao pulled Liu Dongyan, sat down next to one of the plates of green vegetables, took a spoon, scooped a bowl of green vegetable soup and handed it to Liu Dongyan first, and then scooped a bowl himself. He took the cake from the basket in front of him and began to eat it.

In the morning, there is only green vegetable soup, but the cooking cakes are enough. Because the things picked on this day are very heavy, the porter needs to have enough strength, so the owner is not stingy, the cooking cake tube is enough to eat, but it cannot be taken away, and it will naturally be eaten when it should be eaten at noon.

The men sat around the bowls, munching on the bread and not saying a word.

Yang Xianmao took two bites of the cooking cake, and at this time, someone patted him on the shoulder behind him and said, "Na, this is for you." ”

Yang Xianmao looked back, but it was the housekeeper who was holding two meat-scented meatloaf and a chicken leg in his hand.

Yang Xianmao couldn't help but be stunned and looked at the housekeeper.

The butler said, "There is one burden that is the heaviest, and I saw yesterday that you have a lot of strength, so you will pick up the burden." So you have to eat a little better to have the strength, eat quickly. ”

Yang Xianmao took the two meatloafs and the chicken leg, turned his head, and saw the other porters sitting around the pot of vegetable soup with them looking at him with jealousy in their eyes. A porter also muttered: "Look at his body, is he really strong?"

Another porter said: "That burden is one hundred and eighty pounds, just for two meatloaf and one chicken thigh? ”

The previous porter gloated and said, "No, with his size, I bet he will have to lie down tired if he can't walk a mile with that burden, and he thinks it's fun." ”

Yang Xianmao ignored them either, handed the chicken leg in his hand to Liu Dongyan, and handed her one of the two meatloafs, and said, "Eat." ”

Liu Dongyan was originally going to go back, but when he saw Yang Xianmao's eyes, he took it down again. Because Yang Xianmao has said several times, she must listen to Yang Xianmao's words, no matter what it is, and she also said that she must obey Yang Xianmao's arrangement. This arrangement, of course, includes eating and drinking. Along the way, Yang Xianmao gave her the deliciousness, she was full of gratitude, and she couldn't shirk it, this time it was the same, she silently took the meatloaf and chicken legs, and ate it with vegetable soup.

Yang Xianmao saw that her eyes were wet, foggy, and seemed to have tears in the morning light, knowing that this little girl was grateful to herself, she snorted and said, "Hurry up and eat, only after eating can you have the strength to pick up something." ”

Liu Dongyan hummed and took a big gulp, the chicken leg was extremely sweet, and he hadn't eaten chicken for a month or two.

In this dynasty, chicken was enjoyed only by ordinary people during the New Year's holidays. Liu Dongyan is the daughter of the imperial doctor, and it was not appropriate to eat chicken before, but after experiencing so many hardships and bitterness, she felt that it was so sweet when she ate chicken again.

After eating, they came to the front yard.

Rows of burdens were placed in the courtyard, and the housekeeper beckoned Yang Xianmao to come over, pointed to the two big boxes on the steps and said, "You pick this and follow me." ”

The other burdens are also boxes, but they are smaller than this. The two boxes picked by Yang Xianmao are all thumb-thick ropes, and the horizontal between the two boxes is not a flat shoulder, but a diamond stick, with a child's arm thick, which shows how heavy this box is.

The housekeeper said to Yang Xianmao, "Can you try to pick it up?" No problem, it is lighter than the stone outside. ”

Yang Xianmao nodded and walked over, not squatting down like others, first grabbing the rope that tied the flat pole and then putting the flat pole on his shoulder, and then standing up with great difficulty in his waist and legs, but grabbed the wooden stick with both hands, and directly lifted the pick and put it on his shoulder.

The housekeeper nodded with satisfaction, stroked his gray beard and said, "I can't see that the strength of your body is really not small, with this strength, you don't have to worry about not eating, do it well." ”

Yang Xianmao showed this hand, which made the other porters in the courtyard stunned, especially the few who said cool words before, their faces turned green, and they turned their heads stupidly and didn't look this way.

The old man waved his hand and said, "Everyone has picked up their own burdens, let's go out." ”

So, the group carried the burden and followed the old man out on the road.

The housekeeper walked at the front of the team, followed closely by Yang Xianmao, carrying the two huge wooden boxes. Liu Dongyan followed behind Yang Xianmao, carrying a burden. Although she is a woman, and her body has not been able to fully recover, but she has practiced martial arts since she was a child, and she is a person with martial arts, of course, she is more powerful than ordinary people, so she is not struggling to follow Yang Xiao.

The mountain road in Shu was climbing down the hill, and the housekeeper shouted all the way to everyone to pay attention and follow closely, and go all the way forward.

At the beginning, these porters were full of energy, because they had just eaten. But after an hour of walking, some of them were snoring and panting like oxen, and then the steward ordered them to stop and rest.

After resting for a cup of tea, he got up again and continued walking.

Yang Xianmao carried the heaviest burden, not even a bead of sweat on his head, the sun rose, the mountain began to become hot, fortunately there are trees towering to the sky, covering the sky and the sun, but I don't feel particularly hot.

Some porters have already stripped off their shirts and are shirtless. Liu Dongyan is a woman in the end, and it is still a little difficult to carry such a long road with a burden. Although she has martial arts, carrying the burden cannot be equated with martial arts, especially long-distance skills. At the same time, she was still carrying Yang Xianmao's big box on her back, and the two things were even heavier together, so she was also a little panting in the back, and the sweat had already soaked her back, so she still gritted her teeth and persisted.

When he stopped to rest and was about to leave again, Yang Xianmao directly took Liu Dongyan's pick and tied it to his wooden box.

Liu Dongyan panicked and hurried to stop it, Yang Xianmao glared at her and said, "Your body hasn't recovered yet, I promised this errand to find you something to eat, so that you can recover your strength and take care of your body." Now that you've damaged my body, you have to ask me to find you something to eat, do you think you're helping me or hurting me?"

Hearing Yang Xianmao's words, Liu Dongyan thought about it, if she was tired and lay down, wouldn't Yang Xianmao's hard work be in vain? She knew that Yang Xianmao had a lot of strength, even if he picked these two picks alone, he would be as heavy as a weight, but how could she let the young master pick such a heavy thing, and she was empty-handed.
